Is it really the back wave of the Yangtze River pushing the front wave? This is not necessarily true, this is not, just in the final battle of the Spring Festival, Li Chunjiang led the Shanghai team to defeat the Guangdong team with a slight advantage of 7 points. But according to the current season schedule, this is definitely not the last time they will meet, and they are likely to encounter again in the third stage or even in the playoffs. But next time, will Du Feng still be planted in Li Chunjiang's hands? Let's take a look at it with the basketball brother!
Li Chunjiang has brought qualitative changes to Shanghai
First of all, let's first take a look at the situation of the Shanghai team. I believe everyone also knows that the current season is also Li Chunjiang's first season in charge of the Shanghai team, but even so, his arrival has still injected new vitality into this old team. Not only did their performance on the defensive end have a qualitative change, but their performance on the offensive end also made our eyes shine, and this all benefited from the joining of Li Chunjiang. But in Li Chunjiang's view, the current achievements of the Shanghai team are obviously just the beginning, because his ultimate goal is likely to help the Shanghai team establish a new championship dynasty, which is also the wish he has always wanted to achieve after leaving the Guangdong team!
Is Shanghai's progress really due to reinforcements?
No, the Shanghai team benefited from the blessing of Li Chunjiang, who ranked second in the CBA League with a record of 23 wins and 5 losses in the first two stages of the game. But there may be fans here who say that the Shanghai team can achieve such a record, not thanks to their heavy reinforcements. You know, at the end of last season, they have brought wang Zhelin, Ren Junfei and Yuan Tangwen, three outstanding local players, to their subordinates, but it is precisely their successive arrivals that have made the overall lineup of the Shanghai team more abundant! Coupled with the successive return of Von Lai and Franklin, this has made the Shanghai team really undergo a qualitative change!
Li Chunjiang is very critical to Shanghai
But here basketball brothers do not fully agree with this view, yes! Today's Shanghai team does have a good hand, but it also requires them to have a good player. If this deck of cards is played by Xu Changsuo, we believe that the performance of the Shanghai team today will not be much stronger than that of the Shandong team, let alone the successful defeat of the eleventh champion Guangdong team, from here we can see how critical Li Chunjiang is to the Shanghai team. Coupled with the fact that the window period has officially arrived, this gives Li Chunjiang an excellent opportunity to further strengthen the shortcomings, and when the third stage officially comes, the Shanghai team will also burst out of more powerful strength!
Guangdong has seen a decline
Secondly, let's look at Du Feng's Guangdong team, which now ranks 5th in the league with a record of 20 wins and 8 losses. There is undoubtedly a huge gap between their performance now and last season. But the reason why they will encounter Waterloo is also because they have suffered the double impact of injury and fatigue. Not to mention Zhao Rui's injury retreat, that is, their core main forces Yi Jianlian, Ren Junfei and Zhou Peng also had different degrees of injuries in the follow-up matches. This is not even the ban of small foreign aid Weems, which also makes the overall strength of the Guangdong team at least half removed, Du Feng can lead them to achieve such a record now, which is already very good!
Guangdong has been deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion
However, in the second stage of the game, the Guangdong team was also deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, first the conflict between Weems and Han Dejun, followed by Du Runwang's elbow hitting Zhao Yanhao, causing the latter's front teeth to fall out of 2, and finally Zeng Fanri stepped on Sun Minghui's feet, and caused the latter's knee sprain. Presumably, everyone did not expect that more than half of the intentional injuries were directly related to the Guangdong team. Although after Weems clashed with Han Dejun, Du Feng claimed that Weems did not mean it. But this is also due to the disobedience of athletes on both sides. In this case, the CBA league can only play fifty boards each, and both sides have been punished by fines and bans!
Guangdong's overall strength has been hit hard
That is, from that moment on, the overall strength of the Guangdong team suffered a heavy blow. Although Weems re-entered the battle in the final battle before the Spring Festival, the strength of the Guangdong team at that time was at most 70%. Because Zhao Rui did not participate in the war. But since the window period has come, whether it is Zhao Rui or Yi Jianlian, Ren Junwei and Zhou Peng, the three main forces, the injuries on their bodies must be alleviated from the root. When the third stage comes, the Guangdong team will definitely be able to return to a full blood state. This also allows the Guangdong team to play a stronger strength in future games, which also allows Du Feng to have a further confidence!
Li Chunjiang will defeat Du Feng again
However, when the Guangdong team and the Shanghai team met again, the basketball brother was still more optimistic about Li Chunjiang's Shanghai team. The reason is also very simple, the window period has also arrived, which also allows Li Chunjiang to get a great opportunity to make up for the shortcomings. Therefore, in future competitions, the Shanghai team will certainly be able to play a stronger strength. Even if Du Feng's Guangdong team is full of blood again, they are likely to be planted in the hands of the Shanghai team, because Li Chunjiang already has the confidence to create miracles! What do you think about that?
